United in Los Angeles

Posted by

A quick update from Los Angeles. A while back we mentioned that I would be moving to LA to take a job at USC. That move occurred after the field season in New Mexico, and so both H2VP authors are now residents of Los Angeles (and USC)! I have a lot to get running and I am terribly behind the schedule I set for myself in late August, so blogging will be rare until I am caught up.

A good place to muse on oil painting in Western art history online, I find, is at this site at wahooart.com. There is a huge archive of digital images of artwork now housed in art museums around the world.The company makes canvas prints and hand-painted, oil painting reproductions to order, from your selection of images from this big archives.It's some resource for art lovers and historians. There are many images of works by famous artists of the past that I have never seen.From their home page at wahooart.com, you can browse by the hundreds of artists there, movements in art, art media, historical timeline and even by subject matter. There is much biographical information about the artists.I am always fascinated by the way the 19th century English landscape painter, William Turner, used layers of luminous oil paint to recreate his blazing landscapes. Clicking http://EN.WahooArt.com/@/WilliamTurner , I find his paintings indexed in a floating 3D gallery at the site.

I am glad to see that people are actually writing about this issue in such a smart way, showing us all different sides to it. Thanks for sharing, please keep it up. Also checkout our new year 2017 images new collections.
